The Sisters of Blue Mountain by Karen Katchur

★★★★ ☐ The publisher has provided a copy for review.Ah. The life of sisters. I don't have one so I often watch with fascination from the sidelines at how women in a family treat each other.

At their best, sisters rely and lean on each other, are good friends, and lovingly tell each other the truth. At their worst, they remember conflicts and bear grudges, compete for parental attention, and tear each other apart.

Katchur captures the complexities of family relationships where one leaves to fulfill her dream and the other stays behind to care for the family. This satisfying read leaves you wanting to know more about the family when the last page is turned.

I enjoyed learning about the migration habits of birds and some environmental concerns as a bonus.
